Midlands Rhinos were blown away by the local Pakistani bowlers as they were skittled out for a mere 80. Shaheen Afridi and Muhammad Musa bagged 3-apiece.
Kumar Sangakkara in potentially his last CL game ever scored 12 runs off 13 deliveries before being dismissed by Shaheen Afridi in an anticlimactic manner.

The result of this game was never in doubt after the events of the first innings, but Bhuvneshwar Kumar's first spell caused a lot of trouble for Quetta Gladiators.
David Warner raced to a fifty and ensured the win that Quetta's bowlers had set them up for. He remained unbeaten on 61 from 43 balls with 8 fours and 2 sixes.

Virat Kohli's hundred and Dinesh Karthik-Mohammad Nabi's late-order blitz pushed Kolkata Knight Riders to 345/5 - the highest total in this edition of CL so far.
Parthiv Patel's first-ball duck tainted KKR's start, but a careful approach from Murali Vijay and Kohli rejuvenated KKR's innings, as well as see off the new ball.

With Pat Cummins posing a major threat on conditions like these, it was probably for the best that KKR played so cautiously until the ball started wearing out.
Virat Kohli played a fantastic innings and achieved a hundred. Joe Root also played a vital knock, but he failed to convert his start into something bigger.

Dinesh Karthik and Mohammad Nabi took Leinster Lightning's bowlers to the cleaners, mounting 119 runs in the last 10.0 overs to take KKR's total to 345.
Pat Cummins conceded runs at only 4.1-an over against an opposition that scored 345, but he could only manage one wicket - courtesy of Kolkata's approach.

An all-out fast attack on this pitch was never going to be easy to face, especially when the names Leinster were up against were Starc, Bhuvneshwar and Shami.
As was proven by the fact that Leinster Lightning were bowled out for just 215 with innings of any significance only coming from Rohit Sharma and Jonny Bairstow.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar finished with 4 wickets to his name, and Mohammad Shami picked-up 3. Mitchell Starc and Lockie Ferguson bagged a wicket each as well.
Leinster's middle-order faltered. Rohit Sharma and Jonny Bairstow gave Leinster a good, albeit slow start. But both were dismissed before they could truly explode.

An all-round batting display from Sydney Roosters saw them finish with a sizable total of 345/5, exactly mirroring KKR's total from the previous preseason game.
Steve Smith played a classic knock and achieved a ton to his name in the process. He was well-accompanied by Virat Kohli, who missed his ton by 22 runs.

MS Dhoni and Ben Stokes added quick runs at the backend but weren't nearly as quick as Kolkata Knight Riders' 119 in the last 10.0 overs in the previous game.
It was a bad day to be a Red Steel bowler as the best figures were 1/56 from Rayad Emrit, while Devendra Bishoo was the most economical although wicketless.

A crushing defeat for Sydney Roosters as they crush T&T Red Steel by a hefty margin of 133 runs. It would be safe to say they avenged their CL XVI loss in the final.
Nathan Coulter-Nile and Adam Zampa bagged 3 wickets apiece to tear down T&T's batting line. Nathan Coulter-Nile struck early to remove Red Steel's top-order.

And Adam Zampa ran through their middle-order, leaving the tail for cleanup to his teammates. Resistance was shown by the aforementioned tail but it was futile.
The result of this game was in Sydney Roosters' favor, and with this win, they go up 2 to 1 over T&T Red Steel. However T&T's 1 came in the all-important CL final.

Virat Kohli build the innings with Murali Vijay, Root, Hooda & Dinesh Karthik in KKR match and he did same with Smith, Dhoni & Stokes in Sydney Roosters match... :clap:thumbs
I think only he can do this kind of stuff in Current gen...
 
Great performance from the team especially Zampa, Kohli & Smudge. Dhoni was brilliant as well. [HASHTAG]#RoostersRocks[/HASHTAG]!
